Music reviews are our speciality here at IZILION.
Our mission is to provide honest reviews, and we do just that while backing up critical points with authenticity.
We have decades of experience reviewing new releases. We use our knowledge of the industry, artists, and personal opinions to create reviews that are not available elsewhere. Luckily for music consumers, new reviews become available every day. Therefore, finding fresh insights and feedback on the hottest tracks has never been easier.
Since the birth of IZILION, there has not been a day without a new track going to our team’s expert ear. Also, we have proven to be consistent with our methods providing the music community with a wide range of reviews from many genres and styles.
Furthermore, we do not endorse one genre over another. But, we generally concentrate on the commercial market, with many reviews being of artists in top chart positions. Nevertheless, we do not exclude new artists and artists who are rising up the echelon. Therefore we allow many artists to shine.
So who pens the reviews we issue on IZILION? We have a specialist review team who have built a wealth of knowledge working within the music industry. Each writer has a distinct style which gives every review we publish a unique edge.
